SYNOPSIS:

A young pregnant rural girl, Nuan-chan enters the city of Bangkok to find her missing husband. She rents a boarding house where she encounters several strange incidents and people, especially the widow, Madam Run-juan who is also the owner of the house- It has been rumoured that she still sleeps with her dead husband. While looking for her own husband, the desperate girl finds the connection between the widow's husband and her. In discovering the truth, she has to encounter something unseeable...

MOVIE REVIEW:
  

This Thai horror movie gave us some pretty good scares – in every sense of the phrase.

Wisit Sasanatieng, who helmed the stylistically beautiful Tears of the Black Tiger (2000) and the funny romantic comedy Citizen Dog (2004), makes another visually-pleasing movie about, well, not exactly the most apt topic: vengeful spirits.

The writer-director’s third feature film tells the story of a young and pretty pregnant woman who goes in search of her missing husband. She reaches a creepy boarding house and gets completely freaked out by the eerie beings living inside.

While this plot has the potential to conveniently fall into a conventional scare-by-shock Thai horror, Sasanatieng puts his eyes for beautiful shots to good use. Director of photography Chankit Chamnivikaipong lyrically transforms the spine-chilling boarding house into a scenic location, complete with lush gardens and exotic-looking rooms.

Even the way the spirits float by feel strangely poetic.

As for Khomkiat Khomsiri’s story, it may be nothing refreshing or innovative, but the classic ageless tale of love will satisfy the romantic in you. Considering the PG rating for this Thai flick, do not expect exceptionally gory or violent scenes.

One thing we’d like to advise our readers though: Do not be misled by what you see on the DVD cover. Judging by the unadventurous portraits of two daunting women staring frighteningly into space, you’d think it’s just one of the many Thai scare-fests available out there.

But heed our suggestion: This pretty scary horror movie from The Land of a Thousand Smiles is worth your time.

SPECIAL FEATURES:

This Code 3 DVD comes with a miserable platter of two trailers and a photo gallery.

AUDIO/VISUAL:

The disc’s visual transfer maintains the lush and rich colours of the movie, while the language track is in Thai Dolby Digital 5.1.
